The work is in Chicago. The city currently has the highest unemployment rate and it definetely was difficult for me to score this job, so hopefully, it helps social workers who happens to be in Chicago.
The job is at a hospital downtown Chicago. One of the coworkers is resigning as of 12/15/08, and we'll need a social worker. MSW required, LSW preferred, however, you will be given 6 months to be licenced. The job responsibility is going to be at Telemetry floors in the hospital, which has variety of age groups and needs.
We're looking for someone who can work well in teams (this is important!!). The job is quite demanding, so time management and priority setting skills are necessary. Language other than English is a plus, but not required. Since the hospital is located close to the Chinatown, we do get a lot of Chinese speaking patients. Chinese speaking could really be a plus, but again, not necessary. Spanish speaking would be great too, of course.
